Fear of Rejection

Welcome back for the ninth day of Writober. Today, we’re exploring the universal fear of separation by looking at fear of rejection. Fear of rejection makes me think of a middle school dance, or being picked last for teams on the playground. However, the fear of being socially excluded can make a person display needyContinue reading “Fear of Rejection”

Letters: Symbols of Sound

Welcome to the first day of Writober. Today, all our prompts will start to explore the universal fear of Ego death: the loss of subjective self-identity. The fear of Ego Death encompasses all the fears of damage to one’s ego, one’s pride, such as embarrassment, shame, fear of failure, fear of success, and the feelingContinue reading “Letters: Symbols of Sound”

It’s October Poetry Writing Month (OctPoWriMo), Writober daily flash fiction challenge, the daily Halloween Photography Challenge, and it’s the month of preparing to write a novel during November’s NaNoWriMo.

Staying Autumn

Today’s Poetics prompt at dVerse Poets Pub is to write an Autumn poem that includes colors or leaves. Since today couldn’t be less Autumnal here in Western Washington, my poem is about enjoying the moments before Autumn inevitably arrives. Staying Autumn Emerald-aqua hummingbirds pause by the wine-leaved plum tree.They frolic as if they can dartContinue reading “Staying Autumn”

In a Spooky Mood

Happy first day of October! I hope you’re enjoying jumping in to all of this month’s fun blogging challenges. I woke up while it was still dark and went out with my camera to enjoy the spooky moonlight. I really enjoyed the results of using the “Night Scene” setting in my Sony alpha-58 to captureContinue reading “In a Spooky Mood”

#Writober Day 31: Happy Halloween!

Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge As I did last year, I found this Halloween challenge inspiring. I made more detailed cuts for my filters this year inspired by PBS’s Monstrum, and came up with the idea to use tiny brads to add movable aspects to my filters. Thank you Tourmaline . Today’s prompt is Costume. IContinue reading “#Writober Day 31: Happy Halloween!”

#Writober Day 8: #SoCS The Strange and Wonderful in the Back of the Fridge

Stream of Consciousness Saturday Today’s prompt for some stream of consciousness writing is “back of the fridge.” At first I thought of the space behind the fridge: dark, collecting dust and cobwebs that are impossible to get to. I wasn’t going to have a lot to say about that back of the fridge. But thenContinue reading “#Writober Day 8: #SoCS The Strange and Wonderful in the Back of the Fridge”

#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog

Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s word is “Fog” which immediately made me think of the movie “The Fog.” I first watched The Fog thinking it was the movie that inspired the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V in which a fog made their bodies turn inside out, so I was surprised that the movie was aboutContinue reading “#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog”

#Writober Day 4: Trying New Tricks

Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Trick. So what new trick do I want to try today? Yesterday’s ideas of wisdom being connections of ideas inspired me to try sewing, typing with an old typewriter, and writing on transparencies. Then I thought about all the fun I had with inkblots, and tried making inkblotsContinue reading “#Writober Day 4: Trying New Tricks”
